Yeryomenko played
11-a-side football in his youth, but began to play futsal in 1990. He played for
Dina Moscow for 10 years, during which time he also became the all-time top scorer of the Russian national team. He became a key player in Russia's
1999 UEFA Futsal Championship triumph, scoring the winning penalty in a shoot-out against hosts Spain. He was recognised by many as the greatest Russian futsal player of all time and throughout the futsal community as one of the game's legends. After retiring from futsal in 2001, Yeryomenko went on to become president of
Dinamo Moscow in 2002 and in 2003, he was elected as the first president of the
Russian Futsal Super League. In 2004, Yeryomenko became a member of the
Federation Council of Russia for the
Voronezh Region, replacing
Gleb Fetisov. The place of Yeryomenko in 2011 was taken by
Nikolay Olshansky. == Death ==
